Meeting the electronic health record "meaningful use" criterion for the HL7 infobutton standard using OpenInfobutton and the Librarian Infobutton Tailoring Environment (LITE)

by Xia Jing, Guilherme Del Fiol, and Guilherme Del Fiol

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings / AMIA Symposium. AMIA Symposium, 2012

Infobuttons are clinical decision support tools that use information about the clinical context (... more Infobuttons are clinical decision support tools that use information about the clinical context (institution, user, patient) in which an information need arises to provide direct access to relevant information from knowledge resources. Two freely available resources make infobutton implementation possible for virtually any EHR system. OpenInfobutton is an HL7-compliant system that accepts context parameters from an EHR and, using its knowledge base of resources and information needs, generates a set of links that direct the user to relevant information. The Librarian Infobutton Tailoring Environment (LITE) is a second system that allows institutional librarians to specify which resources should be selected in a given context by OpenInfobutton. This paper describes the steps needed to use LITE to customize OpenInfobutton and to integrate OpenInfobutton into an EHR.

Graphical methods for reducing, visualizing and analyzing large data sets using hierarchical terminologies

We use a hierarchical terminology to organize a data set and display it in a graph. We reduce the size and complexity of the data set by considering the terminological structure and the data set itself (using a variety of thresholds) as well as contributions of child level nodes to parent level nodes. We found that our methods can reduce large data sets to manageable size and highlight the differences among graphs. The thresholds used as filters to reduce the data set can be used alone or in combination. We applied our methods to two data sets containing information about how nurses and physicians query online knowledge resources. The reduced graphs make the differences between the two groups readily apparent. This is a new approach to reduce size and complexity of large data sets and to simplify visualization. This approach can be applied to any d...

Disseminating context-specific access to online knowledge resources within electronic health record systems

Online knowledge resources are available that can help clinicians meet these information needs. Yet, significant barriers limit the use of these resources within the clinical workflow. Infobuttons are clinical decision support tools that use the clinical context (e.g., institution, user, patient) within electronic health record (EHR) systems to anticipate clinicians' questions and provide automated links to relevant information in knowledge resources. This paper describes OpenInfobutton (www.openinfobutton.org): a standards-based, open source Web service that was designed to disseminate infobutton capabilities in multiple EHR systems and healthcare organizations. OpenInfobutton has been successfully integrated with 38 knowledge resources at 5 large healthcare organizations in the United States. We describe the OpenInfobutton architecture, knowledge resource integration, and experiences at five large h...

A Complementary Graphical Method for Reducing and Analyzing Large Data Sets

We have previously described a filtering method to provide high-level summary views of large data sets. In this paper we demonstrate our method for setting and selecting thresholds to limit graph size while retaining important information by applying it to large single and paired data sets, taken from patient and bibliographic databases.

Incorporating personalized gene sequence variants, molecular genetics knowledge, and health knowledge into an EHR prototype based on the Continuity of Care Record standard

Journal of Biomedical Informatics, 2012

The tailoring of molecular genetics knowledge and health knowledge in clinical settings is important both for the provision of personalized medicine and to reduce clinician information overload. In this paper we describe the incorporation, customization and demonstration of molecular genetic data (mainly sequence variants), molecular genetics knowledge and health knowledge into a standards-based electronic health record (EHR) prototype developed specifically for this study.

Practical choices for infobutton customization: experience from four sites

by Saverio Maviglia, Xia Jing, Guilherme Del Fiol, Casey Overby, Guilherme Del Fiol, and Nathan Hulse

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings / AMIA Symposium. AMIA Symposium, 2013

Context-aware links between electronic health records (EHRs) and online knowledge resources, comm... more Context-aware links between electronic health records (EHRs) and online knowledge resources, commonly called "infobuttons" are being used increasingly as part of EHR "meaningful use" requirements. While an HL7 standard exists for specifying how the links should be constructed, there is no guidance on what links to construct. Collectively, the authors manage four infobutton systems that serve 16 institutions. The purpose of this paper is to publish our experience with linking various resources and specifying particular criteria that can be used by infobutton managers to select resources that are most relevant for a given situation. This experience can be used directly by those wishing to customize their own EHRs, for example by using the OpenInfobutton infobutton manager and its configuration tool, the Librarian Infobutton Tailoring Environment.
